Margaret Thatcher Dies


At eighty-seven years old, the former prime minister of the UK died on Monday after a series of strokes. She was the UK's longest serving prime minister in the last 100 years, serving more than twelve years. She revitalized a sickly economy for her country and forged a strong partnership and friendship with Ronald Reagan, especially when standing strong against the Soviet Union. 


There will be a funeral ceremony, with full military honors, will take place at London's St Paul's Cathedral, following a procession from Westminster.
The Queen, accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, will attend the service, Buckingham Palace said.
